ABOUT CHRISTIAN FLATHMAN

An award-winning communications and marketing leader who helps organizations tell smarter stories—especially when the stakes are high and the subject matter is technical, regulated, or transformational. During the past two decades, I’ve worked for Fortune 10 companies, publicly traded aerospace and tech firms, startups, and higher education institutions to translate complex ideas into narratives that move people, markets, sales and organizations forward.My work sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and execution. I’ve led enterprise-level communications through IPOs, global reorganizations, product launches, crises, and major brand transformations—driving record media coverage, measurable revenue impact, and meaningful engagement with customers, employees, policymakers, and investors.I’m known for strong judgment, a calm presence under pressure, and the ability to lead multiple high-profile initiatives at once without losing sight of people. I take pride in building and mentoring high-performing teams, developing future leaders, and creating environments where good ideas can win. I love the details and to get my hands dirty but what I really love is hiring and empowering great leaders and getting out of their way to let them work their magic.Currently, I lead integrated communications and marketing for one of the world’s largest advanced aerospace, space and defense systems businesses. We create and execute global campaigns that support growth, innovation, and mission-critical outcomes for our country and our allies.Dad to my amazing daughter, lifelong learner, adjunct PR professor at Auburn University, former volunteer high school special teams coach and Formula 1/racing enthusiast. If I can, I will bend over backwards to help someone\'s dream come true. Be a Go Giver! Giving is better than getting. Let’s connect. Jeremiah 29:11
